I Love Spring

Monday, April 30, 2012

I love spring. I love waking up early in the morning with the sun streaming in the window. I love the new bright leaves, and little young blossoms, and the green everywhere! I love the smell of the flowers and the sounds of the birds. I love the warm breezes. There is so much new life and so much joy! Just the word spring makes me take in a deep breath. So fresh and new.

So much potential, right around the corner!

I took some photos of a small bunch of tulips. I'm playing around with a new lens the hubby got me as an "early birthday present." I love how it captures the details in such a soft way. It may seem silly, but I watermarked the photos. Photography is a wonderful hobby for me, but who knows... maybe it will become more, someday. I'm learning, and I have so much more to learn. Just like medicine... always learning, always growing. Like spring, photography and medicine are full of life and joy for me!

I was asked by a friend to photograph her wedding this summer. She said that they were just planning on having friends snap some photos with their camera phones. I said, "Umm, no. No phones. I will gladly do my best to capture your day!" Since I won't have much time to practice between her wedding and my medical school boards, I squeeze in a little practice during my study breaks... hence, the ring shots, below.

Also, I love my engagement (wedding) ring. I love love love it!

Looking forward to more SPRING! And now, back to studying pulmonology...

Shooting a wedding sounds like fun! Here's a post from a photography blog that I read that has some tips as well as an example shot list (in the comments) that might be helpful :) http://digital-photography-school.com/wedding-photography-21-tips-for-for-amateur-wedding-photographers

Thanks! (I'm actually married, but the ring is my engagement ring that Andrew gave me when he proposed - as opposed to my wedding band that I wear with the engagement ring... sorry it was confusing!) Enjoy your weekend as well!
